Under normal circumstances I’d agree with the long term view, however we’re hovering around relegation and the current crop of players (kids) don’t have what it takes to safely steer out of this mess.If it helps you to write off people who disagree with you as non-fans then go for it. There are many, many fans like me who are less reactive than many on here.
I suspect those with leadership experience in the real world are more likely to be interested in setting a good strategy rather than reacting to short term results.
Long term > short term always
Let's also not forget that ENICs "long term strategy" changes every season. There's nothing long term about it.Under normal circumstances I’d agree with the long term view, however we’re hovering around relegation and the current crop of players (kids) don’t have what it takes to safely steer out of this mess.
Getting relegated will have far more serious repercussions than signing players that might not get a lot of playing time next season. And let’s be honest that’s going of the assumption we just sign dross, it really shouldn’t be that hard to find players that provide upside over some in the starting 11.
Might have to pay some serious wages for it…
wrong
All the ange in surely has to be a spelling mistake. Its spelt ange bin.
Yeah and also Sporting Lisbon, Dortmund, Ajax, Rennes to name but a few, thing is though those clubs can afford to nurture talent because the competition in their leagues aren't as fierce in the Prem and these clubs now have made it their business operation of investing in youth in order to make profit on them to sell them.
I reckon if Barca set themselves up this way and sell for pure profit they'd be so financially healthier than they are now, imagine them selling Yamal and Pedri to oil clubs for example, they'd easily fetch around £200m for them...they won't do that though because they still like to perceive themselves as a giant but in reality they're poor as fuck.
I think you were more popular when you were being flash about drinking wine on a terrace overlooking a vineyard . Maybe stick to being smug about how much money you claim to have , it’s not a great look but it’s really all you’ve gotIf it helps you to write off people who disagree with you as non-fans then go for it.

I probably wrongly give them the benefit of the doubt that Lange wants to build a squad using younger players that will be very decent in a year or two.Let's also not forget that ENICs "long term strategy" changes every season. There's nothing long term about it.
Maybe but as Levy feels the heat that plan will get binned.I probably wrongly give them the benefit of the doubt that Lange wants to build a squad using younger players that will be very decent in a year or two.
Need a new striker and left back. Part of me thinks board feels hes had sufficient cash so has to be creative. So far he hasnt. He deserves to be sacked. Board need to go in summer as well.Squad it’s on its knees, we need new players even if we get a new manager.
What we really need right now is a beast in midfield
We are far too lightweight and soft
Saw an interview with lange last summer. Looked depressed and bored.Lange needs to fall on his sword this summer. Levy and Ange are getting all the heat while he giggles in the shadows
Someone who gets paid so much should've done a flake of research and seen Ange's high intensity football brings about alot of injuries and alot of fatigue.
It did at Celtic, at it did here in his first season with all the injuries we suffered.
So what was with that limp summer window, how was that gonna improve the situation, and then you have this joke of a window .
Fall on your sword mate, out of his depth

Levy deserves the heat. Who sets the budgets? Who does the negotiation? Who has overseen 25 years of on field failure?Lange needs to fall on his sword this summer. Levy and Ange are getting all the heat while he giggles in the shadows
